lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in a few days' time, it will be ten years since the greatest barbarity to shake Europe since the end of the Second World War. I refer to Srebrenica. This is one of the blackest pages in the history of European and European civilisation. Today we have an obligation to strengthen the memory of history, we have an obligation to honour the innocent victims of the ethnic violence in Yugoslavia, the Muslims, Serbs and Croats, without selective sensibilities and without any philosophy when it comes to bloodshed. Ten years later, Bosnia is still deeply divided. Ten years later, this country has five presidents and two prime ministers and is being kept alive artificially. The international community and the European Union must take initiatives to review the Dayton agreement in order to bring about a functional, federal, democratic and multi-ethnic state. The European Union has a political and strategic responsibility to defend and strengthen the European prospects and the integration of the countries of the Balkans into the European institutions. We need to firmly oppose those who contest enlargement today with a strategy of political and social democratisation, peace, security and stability through the progress of the Balkans towards Europe. If we deny the peoples in the name of political expediency, we shall have contributed to the prevalence of the most extreme ethnic forces. Europe made a great many mistakes in the 1990s. It must not repeat them."@en1
